April Showers Bring May School Assemblies, or something like that... more like January snow brings a longer school year. This winter has been tough and a lot of school districts are facing the prospect of a longer school year in order to make up the lost time. Sadly, in many cases, with the extra days thrown in at the end of the year it does not help schools prepare for testing which occurs in most states in the Spring. By May and June testing is usually done. School are looking for things to do. And with a longer school year, in some areas stretching into nearly the end of June, there is a lot of time to fill. 

Talking recently about some great school assembly performers we may have mentioned a favorite of ours named David Killion. Dave is from Higgins Lake, Michigan, up in the Northern part of the lower peninsula of Michigan. So when he goes on tour, he has gone a long way before he even leaves the state!

Just a reminder! It is the middle of February and the last thing you want to think about is school assemblies for next year, but.... just like taxes, you have to do it!

As a parent myself I can tell you that issues of character are vitally important in developing the citizens of tomorrow. Ever try raising a teenage boy? Enough said.

Our Ben Franklin school assembly recently completed a really successful tour through the great state of Texas. I thought I would share a few comments from some of the schools we visited.

I had to throw in a word today about Thomas Edison, his birthday and the relevance of school assemblies.

Following in our recent line of “shout outs” to great school assembly performers, a little recognition for a long time favorite of ours, Ms. Kathleen Day, our auburn haired heroin from Springfield, Ohio!

We wrote about Dave Mitchell yesterday and the wonderful reviews he gets for his New Jersey school assembly performances. Well, today we have another shout out to a fellow from Long Island, New York who also performs for us regularly in New Jersey schools and to equal acclaim.

One of our best school assembly performers was in New Jersey schools recently. We just had to share some comments that we received following his performances. Dave Mitchell does a wonderful Ben Franklin school assembly and our New Jersey schools just loved him. 

So what do Green Bay, Wisconsin, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Dallas, Texas all have in common? The 2011 Superbowl, right? Well, yes, of course! But something else, too. Mobile Ed visits schools in all three places to perform school assemblies.! There, now you knew that, right? :-)
